My Sexy CEO Wife

"Dongguo Heixin already regrets it, he's willing to make any compensation, only hoping you can spare his life," Gao Fei continued to plead.

"Aren't you annoying," Xiahou Wei glared, yelling, "Get out! Stop bothering me here! Dongguo Heixin's fate is sealed! No one can save him!"

Gao Fei's expression darkened, "Is there really no way to mediate?"

"Mediate my ass, get out, I don't want to see you, and don't come looking for me in the future," Xiahou Wei said impatiently, "Go, go, go! Just get out!"

Gao Fei sat firmly in his chair, with no intention of getting up, "I won't leave until this is resolved."

"Ha," Xiahou Wei sneered, "What now? You're going to cling to me? Gao Fei, don't think that just because you're a prince, I have to treat you politely. If you really piss me off, I will..."

"You will what?" Gao Fei asked coldly.

"I will give you a good thrashing and then dump you on the street, to make a fool of yourself!" Xiahou Wei huffed.

"You wouldn't dare!" A cold light flashed in Gao Fei's eyes, "My rank is higher than yours, assaulting me would be considered insubordination, which is a major taboo in officialdom, one that carries severe punishment."

"Forget it," Xiahou Wei scoffed, "Even if I beat you, I wouldn't be punished because I have a backer! The mightiest backer in the world! As long as my backer stands firm, no one dares touch me!" He spoke arrogantly, but he had the capital to be arrogant because Xiahou Wei's backer was the Human Emperor, Liu Yifei.

"A backer? Are you talking about the newly instated Human Emperor?" Gao Fei snorted lightly.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll get out now, don't provoke me," Xiahou Wei warned.

"Don't forget, I have a backer too..."

"I know, isn't it the Crown Prince? Specifically, a puppet Crown Prince."

"How dare you! To mock the Crown Prince, are you not afraid of being beheaded and having your family exterminated!"

"Who are you trying to scare? Who do you think you're scaring!" Xiahou Wei snorted, "Am I wrong? He Hentian is just a puppet, carrying the title of the Crown Prince without the ability to exercise any of the Crown Prince's powers, at best he's just for show." After saying this, Xiahou Wei added, "Right now he's the Crown Prince, but whether he will be in the future, that's uncertain."

"Presumptuous!"

"Get lost! Get out now! This is my house, I don't welcome you, get out!"

"Xiahou Wei, you better think this through. If I leave today, I won't come back, and you'll regret it when the time comes," Gao Fei warned.

"I'll regret it?" Xiahou Wei scoffed coldly, "The word 'regret' isn't in my life's dictionary. Enough talk, just get lost, you annoy me just by being here."

Gao Fei nodded, "You will surely regret this." After dropping a harsh word, Gao Fei stood up and left the General's Mansion.

"Pfft!" Xiahou Wei sneered disdainfully, "What a joke, thinking that just because he's latched onto the Crown Prince, he can act so high and mighty? The Crown Prince counts for nothing, it's the Human Emperor who calls the shots. I am a confidant of the Human Emperor, who would dare touch me?"

...

"Bastard!"

"Son of a bitch!"

"Cur!"

"Thinking just because he's clung to the Human Emperor, he can look down on everyone? What crap!"

"Xiahou Wei, you just wait, I will make you regret, so much that your intestines will turn green with regret!"

Speaking of coincidences, just as Gao Fei had just returned to his dwelling, He Hentian followed right in.

"How did it go?" Gao Fei asked anxiously, "What did Liu Yifei say?"

He Hentian's complexion was extremely poor, "Liu Yifei has been quite courteous to me, showing concern and even bestowing a great deal of gifts... However, when I brought up Xiahou Wei, Liu Yifei was evasive, and he defended Xiahou Wei in every possible way..."

"So, you're saying Liu Yifei isn't willing to help?" Gao Fei frowned.

He Hentian nodded, "Liu Yifei said it himself, to kill demands atonement, it's only right and proper. Whether Dongguo Heixin did it intentionally or not, beheading is the consequence."

"I just went to see Xiahou Wei," Gao Fei said.

"Oh? How did it go?"

"This time Xiahou Wei was very tough. He flatly refused me and even kicked me out."

"What? He kicked you out? Isn't he getting a bit too bold?"

"There's bolder yet! In my presence, Xiahou Wei spoke ill of you."

"What? He spoke ill of me? What did he say!" He Hentian's eyes widened with anger.

"He said, 'what's the Crown Prince compared to nothing? Now you are the Crown Prince, but whether or not you remain the Crown Prince... that's another matter...'" Gao Fei exaggerated slightly, "Can you believe the nerve?"

"Bang!"

He Hentian smashed a table to pieces, cursing furiously, "Damn it! I'm furious!!! I'm going to kill him right now!" He Hentian turned and started for the door.

Gao Fei quickly grabbed He Hentian, "Don't be rash. Xiahou Wei is the Great General, and Liu Yifei's confidant. If you kill him, Liu Yifei definitely won't let it go easily."

"I'm not afraid of Liu Yifei!" He Hentian roared, "Liu Yifei is just working for the Dugu family. He'll have to return the throne to me eventually!"

"Liu Yifei probably doesn't think so," Gao Fei said gravely, "Now that he's become the Heavenly Eye, he definitely won't give it up voluntarily. I wager that right now he's trying to find something on you, something he can use to rightfully depose you, then he can rule as the Heavenly Eye without worry."

"He wouldn't dare! If he dares to depose me, my grandfather will never let him off."

"Your grandfather has gone to the Lesser Heavenly Realm and can't return."

"I…"

"Enough, stop with the furious words. Be calm, let's think of a plan together."

With Gao Fei's persuasion, He Hentian finally calmed down. He sat down huffing, took a few sips from the teapot, then hurled the teapot to the ground, his expression dark and frightening, "Xiahou Wei disrespected me, looked down upon me, despised me. I must teach him a lesson."

"We definitely must teach him a lesson," Gao Fei nodded. "But we need a foolproof plan."

"Do you already have a plan?" He Hentian's brows raised, "I know you're full of tricks."

"I have a rough idea..."

"Spill it."

"Although Xiahou Wei is hot-tempered and arrogant, he is very cautious in his actions, making it difficult to find something on him," Gao Fei said. "So, I plan to start with someone close to him, looking for a breakthrough."

"Good, I support you! You go ahead and do what needs to be done, I'll cover for you if anything happens," He Hentian said loudly.

In the time that followed, the two meticulously planned, considering every detail to ensure a foolproof execution.

"Humph! Xiahou Wei, this time I'm going to make you pay a heavy price!" He Hentian sneered menacingly, "Dare to look down upon me? Dare to speak ill of me? I will make you wish for death that you cannot achieve! And as for Liu Yifei, you think you can gloss over me? Without your help, I can deal with Xiahou Wei just fine. And when my Cultivation has improved, I'll kick you out and take over as the Heavenly Eye myself."

After formulating the plan, the two began to take action.

Xiahou Wei's days of ease were numbered now that he had attracted the attention of Gao Fei and He Hentian.
